Spot 11 – Conbloux



Conbloux is a typical small village from the French Alps. Located close to Salanches and Megéve, Conbloux is in the winter the dream location of any winter sports fan, as a large group of ski resorts are located in a range of 20 minutes of driving, among which some of the most well known in the whole Alps. But this is just part of the wonder.
It is quite impossible not to fall in love at first sight with this little village. With a small old centre perfectly preserved, with the tower of the Church as its most prominent element, it extends itself along the hill, displaying an impressive collection of Chalets “for all tastes”, if you allow me this Portuguese expression. On the other side of the valley, the 365 days per year impressive Mont Blanch, highest pick in the European continent.
Isa’s Chalet comes as Conbloux’s most perfect metaphor. Typical, beautiful, big but impressively cosy and perfectly located, allowing from almost any spot a breathtaking view on the Village, the valley and the mountains, always with the Mont Blanch in the background. Adding to all this, the cherry on the top of the cake: the spa, where one can spend a chilly summer night or a snowing winter day outdoors, under the most relaxing warm water while having a nice glace of champagne. I’ve experienced both situation and I can only recommend it. By the way, it is for rent for a very reasonable price, isn’t that right Isa? So, in case you are interested, just let us know.

What you can not rent, but only earn is the owner’s friendship, one’s I cherish the most. This is of course extended to Isa’s family and her boyfriend, Nico. It was, as always, a huge pleasure to see you again. I know I don’t have to thank you for anything, but nevertheless, I want to do it. I know we will be meeting again soon. I just hope this time in Porto. Nevertheless, two were missing to the equation to be complete.
